What should Ferris homeowners know before building a backyard?
Ferris straddles I-45 at the Ellis/Dallas county line and built its economy on brick manufacturing, drawing on the heavy local clay deposits that still underlie most lots in town. Housing is a mix of pre-war frame homes near the old railroad grid and scattered newer infill, with a small annexed portion of the city extending into Dallas County.
This is Blackland Prairie ground — deep, dark clay that swells in a wet spring and shrinks hard by August. It is the reason we engineer the pool shell for movement and set control joints in the flatwork on purpose rather than wherever the pour ends.
We file the permit with the City of Ferris and follow it through review, so the schedule doesn’t stall on paperwork.
Longhorn has built across Ellis County and the wider Metroplex since 1984. We prepare the drawings an HOA typically asks for, and every project starts with a free design visit and a firm price.

How it runs
How a Backyard Project Runs in Ferris
- 1
A free design visit in Ferris
A designer comes out to the house, measures, walks the access a crew would need, and talks through what you want the space to do. You leave with a firm price. On Blackland Prairie ground, that is also when the grading, drainage and movement details get decided rather than improvised on site.

Drawings, permit and HOA
We file the permit with the City of Ferris and follow it through review, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork. Where an HOA wants a submittal, we prepare the drawings it asks for.

One crew, one schedule
The same team builds the whole job in order, so the slab, the structure, the electrical and the finish work are not three different companies working around each other.

Walkthrough and warranty
We walk the finished backyard with you, settle the punch list and leave one warranty on the work — and we are still Ellis County-local if you need us later.
